Thank you Prasad ji and Pankaj ji. Beautiful photographs of Glory Lily. It used to be placed in the family Liliaceae. Searching 'Plant List' I found that it is now placed in the family Colchicaceae. A new family for me. So thought of sharing. The APG III system places it in the order Liliales, and the family includes some two hundred species of herbaceous perennials with rhizomes or corms. Regards, Sandhya
